Wire Transfer Fraud

The first 24 hours decide most outcomes.

Same-day SWIFT recall, beneficiary-bank engagement, and parallel reporting to FinCEN, FBI IC3, and equivalent bodies. We move fast because windows close fast.

Emergency intake What we do
Common Patterns

How wire-transfer fraud usually unfolds.

Business email compromise

An invoice from a "vendor," a wire instructions change from a "CEO," a closing payment redirect from a "title company."

Real-estate closing fraud

The most painful pattern: a buyer's life savings sent to a spoofed account hours before closing.

Authorized push-payment scam

You willingly sent the wire, but on a fraudulent pretext. UK and EU regulators increasingly require bank reimbursement here.

Methodology

What happens in the first 72 hours.

1

Hours 0–6: Recall

We coordinate with your bank to issue a SWIFT recall and engage the beneficiary bank's fraud team directly where we have a relationship.

2

Hours 6–24: Reporting

Parallel filings: FinCEN (US), Action Fraud (UK), local police, and the FBI IC3. Reports unlock formal channels at the receiving bank.

3

Hours 24–72: Containment

If the beneficiary account remains live, we work to freeze remaining funds and trace any onward transfers before they spread.

FAQ

Questions clients ask first.

It's been more than a week. Is it too late?

It's harder, but not too late. We've recovered funds months and even years after transfer. The path shifts from recall to civil claim different work, but real outcomes.

Will my bank reimburse me?

Sometimes especially in the UK under the APP voluntary code, and in the EU under emerging PSR rules. We help you build the strongest reimbursement claim and challenge denials.

How much do you charge for emergency intervention?

Initial consultation is free. Emergency engagement runs on a fixed daily rate while the window is hot, with a success share if recovered.
